Sam my Dog died today

[uncle jimbo]

Sam my dog of 13+ years passed away about 3 am this morning. Wife and I knew this was coming, in near future, but was not expecting it this morning. Not a sentimental man, but this is really being hard to handle.

I am so very sorry for your loss...in the last 69 years I've buried many of my best friends, thought I'd not get through it but did. Thought I'd not go through this level of pain ever again either...but have.
It takes a while to get used to his absence and it takes pert-near forever to get completely over it...but you will.
I think God put Dogs on this earth to teach us humans about 'unconditional love', I'm still learning.

 

[S Mac]

We do get attached.

 

[Cherokee]

I understand your loss and your pain. Been there four times, haven't forgotten a one, the hole they left is still there; the pain will eventually dissipate.

 

[RBHarter]

Yep all of the above . Never gets easier .

 

[KeithB]

Sorry to hear of your loss.

 

[CZ93X62]

Very sorry to read of your loss, sir.

We lost our 12 yr. old female black lab a few yrs. ago.
That about killed me.

 

[Bill]

Ben, labs ain't dogs, they are reincarnated humans

[Ben]

If I told all of you the things that I ( and many other people ) saw that dog do, I doubt that very many of you would believe it.

Ben, mine went to work with me every day for 11 years (oil field) we were together 24/7, he died of lymphoma I am not proud to say I mourned longer than I did for my mom. After seeing him retrieve a 6 foot fence post I would believe any thing you would tell me, his full name was red dog bitem on the ass Flanagan, dog for short

[fiver]

I'd believe it Ben.
I got some story's bout some of mine too.
hurts to think about them though.

 

[Brad]

Not a dog person but our cats are members of the family.
I feel for your loss, it is never easy. The unconditional affection we get from our pets is likely one of the most memorable things in life.

Like Outlook 75 said; they are our furry children.

Neighbor lady has a 17 year old lab named Lacy. I've never seen a lab get that old before. Black lab with a now all white face. Old Lacy still getting around pretty good too, she ain't bouncing around like a puppy but she's doing surprisingly well.

Sorry for your loss Jimbo. Did that two years ago with the Sire to my kennel (Tracker) and have his female, Belle, at age fifteen, now laying next to me on her pillow. She's full of cancer and on borrowed time. Still have two of their pups and one of their grandchildren. They just don't live long enough.

 

[Winelover]

Bummer.

Sorry for your loss.

 

[Hawk]

Jimbo,
Take comfort in the fact that you gave your friend the best possible life a dog could have.
I've lost many dogs and remember them all.
I still wake up in the middle of the night and see my black lab, Zak, laying on the floor next to the bed, until I blink and he's gone.
You never forget them, becuase they teach us to love unconditionally.

 

[CWLONGSHOT]

Very sorry to read. Tough time for sure. They give SO MUCH, heck they give EVERYTHING they have and are to us. Its real unconditional love, a glimpse into our lord.

May god bless.

Sorry for your loss, on my 4th so far. Son had to have the front leg removed from his 4th, she still wants to play but sure hurts to watch her try. Had a 3 dog nite (and a cat) last night - alergies won't quit. Son had to take GS to Houston for heart checkup today. 'they give EVERYTHING they have' - real shame is people aren't that way.
